Day One;

My boyfriend started doing this 30 day writing challenge which he has now challenged me to do as well, so here I go, starting with..

Day One; Why am I doing this?

Other than the fact that my boyfriend has challenged me to do this, personal writing is a release, a way to let out your emotions, vent and reveal your inner most thoughts. Although a blog isn't exactly personal (depending on how many people ever actually read this), I still feel like this is a good way to share with people things about myself as well as have somewhere familiar to share my thoughts with myself too. I, personally, find writing to be very relieving. I'm able to let go of all my troubles and just focus more on myself, my dreams, my goals etc. I usually tend to find journal/diary writing quite difficult because I either lose interest or eventually just stop writing in it each day, putting it off until the next day, then the next, but hopefully doing this challenge will keep me from losing focus and I'll actually stick to it until the end of 30 days. I want to make the most of my year and I want it to truly be the beginning of the rest of my life and I think that writing will help keep me focused on that goal.
